Airbus selects software from Siemens Capital for electronic systems development

PLANO, Texas - Siemens announced that Airbus has selected Capital electrical/electronic (E/E) systems development software from Siemens' Xcelerator portfolio to accelerate the development of commercial aircraft.

The Capital platform's digital thread and openness were elements that drove this selection, as this facilitates integration within the broader engineering enterprise.

Capital delivers configuration controlled, E/E system digital twin, supported by a digital thread throughout the E/E system development, manufacturing and operational life cycle.

E/E groups will work in a unified design environment that facilitates faster product development, optimized manufacturing of electrical systems, improved first-time-right electrical harness quality and smoother supply chain integration to generate architecturally-optimized design proposals, wiring and service documentation.
